Luka Dončić drew a lively reaction after Sunday’s win over the Utah Jazz when he punctuated his postgame comments with a nod to the Dallas Cowboys.
Walking off after the Los Angeles Lakers’ 108–106 victory, Dončić turned and said,
“You see the Cowboys?!”

The quip landed on a night that already had Dončić in headlines. He had dominated the Jazz in their recent meetings, including a 37-point double-double in a high-scoring game at Crypto.com Arena earlier in the week. With LeBron James returning to the lineup, Dončić maintained the rhythm that has defined Los Angeles’ strong start to the season, controlling tempo and creating late-clock advantages in both the half court and transition.
Context heightened the moment’s poignancy. Though Dončić now plays in Los Angeles, his ties to Dallas remain evident, and the Cowboys reference underscored his continuing affection for the city and its sports culture. Coverage framed the comment as a reminder that his Dallas years left an imprint that persists, even as he navigates a new chapter and new ambitions with the Lakers.
Dončić’s postgame aside also reflected the lightness with which he has approached the early season, balancing star-level production with an ease in front of microphones that keeps him relatable. For a Lakers group settling its rotations and identity, Dončić’s blend of control on the court and levity off it continues to shape the storylines around the team.
